U-Haul trucks and trailers have proved a popular addition to an long-standing Polo business.

Mark Bergstrom, owner of Bergy’s Automotive, 610 N. Division Ave., said the truck rental business has been steady since he started it last October.

“A lot of people are using them. I think the area needed it,” he said. “We’ve had several people come from Dixon.”

U-Haul Company of Illinois, Inc. issued a press release Feb. 7 to announce that Bergy’s Automotive had signed on as a neighborhood dealer, offering U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, support rental items, and in-store pick-up for boxes.

According to the press release, hours of operation for U-Haul rentals are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. After-hours drop-off is available for customer convenience.

U-Haul products can be reserved by calling 815-564-2587 or visiting https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Polo-IL-61064/042724/. 

“U-Haul and Bergy’s Automotive are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives,” the press release said. “Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs, and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.”

Bergy’s Automotive is a also place to become U-Haul Famous, according to the press release.
